#JusticeforFloyd: Demand the officers are charged now!

John,

This just in -- Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman just announced
that Officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested and charged for the murder of
George Floyd.^1 This is why folks protest. Because even when a violent
murder of a Black person is captured on video by an officer with a long
history of misconduct, public officials drag their feet in securing
justice for our communities. 

Without the brave people of Minneapolis putting their lives on the line by
hitting the pavement and protesting every single night, Derek Chauvin may
have NEVER been arrested. Still, this announcement hardly goes far enough.
The other three officers involved in the murder need to be held
accountable as well.

This is why we are calling on County Attorney Freeman to hold ALL four
officers, Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao, and J. Alexander Kueng
accountable for the murder of George Floyd. They ALL have a hand in
George’s tragic death. 

Our communities are tired, outraged, and fatigued over police officers
murdering Black people with impunity. This is why over 2 MILLION people
have signed our petition demanding justice for George Floyd. The
protesting and anger you see on TV is a direct response to the systemic
failures that have plagued Black communities for decades. We did not
create this problem. The police officers who abuse our communities and
prosecutors who fail to hold them accountable created this problem. Time
and again, justice is denied when killer cops are not charged, or even
arrested for their misconduct.

It's time for a change. We can't give up. Let’s keep fighting.

[ [link removed] ]John, sign the petition demanding County Attorney Freeman to
do more than just the bare minimum. All four officers must be charged NOW.

Until justice is real,
